Trees are a striking addition to any size garden, but if you're short on space or a renter you might be best off trying one of the best trees for pots.
Now, you're likely of the assumption that trees – and their long roots – work best when they're being planted directly into the ground. But as long as you choose the correct variety they can thrive in pots. Many of the best trees for small gardens can be grown in a pot, and are the perfect complement to other container garden ideas for adding extra structure and shape to your outdoor space.
'There is no shortage of trees to grow in pots,' promise the experts at the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), noting that 'most trees will thrive in a loam-based compost, such as John Innes No 3, which is fairly heavy, providing good stability'.
